​
GroupManager is a plug-in for Spigot/Bukkit based Minecraft servers. It facilitates the grouping of permissions to​
assign to players. Each group can have a full inheritance tree of other sub-groups, enabling players to have differing levels of authority and control with a promotion and demotion hierachy.
GroupManager has an extensive world mirroring system that allows you to tailor your permission assignments​
for each world and span permissions across worlds. It now even supports time-limited permissions.

I'm back from a long hiatus and reviving my old plug-ins. I was the dev who maintained GM back when it shipped as a companion to the Essentials plug-ins. I'm now releasing it as a stand-alone with updates and improvements.
  • YAML and SQL support (H2, MYSQL, SQLITE, POSTGRESQL, MARIADB).
(ability to add your own database handlers)​
  • Timed permissions, subgroups and negations
  • PAPI support
  • Full Tab-Complete
  • Commands only visible to players with permission to use them.
  • Localisation
  • Many other bug fixes.
Tested on every Spigot release from 1.8.8 onwards.
